Pine Leaf Boys article in NO DEPRESSION magazine ( May-June 2007 )

Just a tip off that the PLBs have made it to mainstream alt-country press.. in one of the best magazines around: No Depression ( which is from the Carter Family Song No Depression in Heaven..and has nothing to do with anything other than great ( mostly ) acoustic music )

The article is one page and called CAJUN COOL ... Wilson is quoted as saying " Dennis McGee was kind of a scary fellow for a 5 year old " when Wilson was first around the greats of Cajun Music..

Buy the mag.. get a subscription.. worth it.

Great! It's about time they recognize the Cajun music renaissance.

It's one of my favorite music mags...

Hey, Glenn,
Thanks for posting about this. I hadn't heard. A friend of mine in TN just sent me the Southern Living with the big picture of Wilson jamming outside my dad's store in an article about Louisiana, but I hadn't heard about this. Great news!

Cheers,
Sarah

P.S. Oh, and Dennis WAS a totally scary guy. I'm surprised Wilson remembers him at all, but I was terrified of him. He used to sign dollars and give them to Joel and me (I don't know if you read my interview on Cajun Corner, so I'm sorry if I'm repeating myself here) if we would dance while he played a song and then kiss his cheek. He had those big yellow eyes rolling around and his tongue hanging out. His music was awesome, not like we knew that then, but really old people are VERY scary to most really young people...
